Steve, I would like to see better error messages in the gui. Some errors that I get are absolutely meaningless and don't tell anything about what needs doing to overcome the errors. This is very important in my opinion. Errors like Could not start vm or router due to Null is just no go. I've also seen pointless errors while trying to delete resources like primary/secondary storage, network resources, etc. In my mind, a commercial product should have a meaningful error reporting and documented solutions on fixing these errors.
In terms of functionality, I would like to see better KVM support for things like change of service offering on live vm, ability to snapshot/restore the entire vm, not just volume by volume. Also, ability to snapshot/import/export account settings, including networks, firewall rules, virtual machines, policies, etc. Redundant Virtual routers checks also need to be improved to make sure you always have two virtual routers running, as at the moment, if one of the VRs crash or host server running a VR crashes ACS doesn't automatically restart it making sure that you always have two running VRs.

What do you envision in the next MAJOR release of CloudStack? Call it 5.0 or whatever you like, but what would you like to see there? What would you change? What would you enhance? Are there big bets we should be placing as a community? Feel free to post any thoughts here and I'll look forward to talking to many of you in person at Collab next week. You are coming to Collab, right? -Steve Steve Wilson VP, Cloud Engineering Citrix twitter: @virtualsteve
